You did not feel deads worked your back? Think you need to put more than 10 lbs on the bar.

I worked up to a 5 rep max , but felt most of the load on my lower back , forearms , and legs. From what i read around these forums not everyone feels deads on their back as well…[/quote]

Deadlifts are supposed to work your lower back, right where you felt them. Were you expecting a lat pump or something?

I was expecting my upper back since thats what a lot of people mention.[/quote]

dude, no.

Yates row, almost any row, and face pulls would all work your upper back more directly and effectively than conventional deads.

Deadlifts work the entire back. Do they work the entire back optimally? No, but then again isn’t that why you choose to do multiple exercises. If it was me, I’d keep the deadlifts in, but then again that’s just me.[/quote]

Yes, but bodybuilders do them specifically for lower back and erectors.

i definitely feel it in my upper back if i do snatch grip deadlifts. can’t use nearly as much weight though so its not as good for the posterior chain. get a good ROM with the snatch grip.

I know that was partially my point. Different exercises serve different areas.
